System REXX is a z/OS® component that allows REXX execs to be executed outside 
of conventional TSO/E and Batch environments. REXX has long been considered one 
of the fastest development languages for system exit and utilities work on 
z/OS. The possibilities for exploiting REXX code through the use of System REXX 
are vast, whether to provide operator assists or to provide an easy way to 
process files and strings. The System REXX environment provides a function 
package that allows a REXX exec to invoke system commands and to return results 
back to the invoker in a variety of ways. System REXX execs may be initiated 
through an assembler macro interface called AXREXX or through an operator 
command.
There are two different System REXX environments supported:

    TSO=NO
    TSO=YES

In both environments, the exec runs in problem state, key 8, in an APF 
authorized address space. Any modules that are loaded, linked or attached from 
the exec, must reside in an APF authorized library; otherwise, a X'306' abend 
occurs. In both cases, the REXX exec runs under the enclave of the AXREXX 
invoker when the invoker can be classified; otherwise, the exec runs under the 
enclave of AXR.

There can be up to 64 REXX worker tasks running TSO=NO execs and up to 8 TSO 
server address spaces running TSO=YES execs. If a worker task is not available 
for an inbound TSO=NO request, or if a TSO server address space is not 
available for a TSO=YES request, the request is queued and the requestor is 
suspended if SYNC=YES is specified. The order in which System REXX processes 
queued requests may not be in the same order that the requests have been 
submitted. AXREXX invokers that use SYNC=YES should consider the potentially 
long wait time.
